No, didn't buy any more puts. Too scared. I think I'll watch a bit, and see if the stocks stall. I'll be comfortable buying more puts about the time nvls is back down to 29, :) or :(. Every day for the last week I've been saying, "this has got to be the top", and every day I've been wrong. TA wasn't much use, was it? I think we have a selective memory, and only remember the times when it did work, which gives us a false sense of its reliability. The puts I bought when nvls was at 29 have lost 2/3 of their value. However, I now have more cap gains (unrealized) in my amat leaps than the entire initial cost of the nvls puts. My hedge is keeping my net gains to a minimum. I'm thinking of selling the puts for the tax loss, and buying other puts, at a different strike price and expiration. As I understand it, I don't have to wait 31 days if I do it that way. Only my accountant knows for sure. Live and learn, or at least live. |
